Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glorious Tyrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patton comes to the cage accompanied by Motorhead - Iron Fist. 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 Glorious Tyrone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
