Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Skidopolopolous (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez has chosen Why Cant we Be Friends! as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jesus Gonzalez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
