Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Predator Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Koski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns comes into the arena with Jiu-Jitsu blaring out of the sound system. 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 Juan Koski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
