Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Little Girl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rashad Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pants On tha Ground kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Rashad Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
