Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Unz Unz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mel Gordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gordon has chosen S.O.B. - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats 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 Mel Gordon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
