Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Tanaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buster Napoleon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Buster Napoleon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Cotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexi Laiho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
