Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Arni Jarnkarl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andr De Fran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying De Fran's choice of entrance music: No Worries. 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 Andr De Fran was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
