Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ross Kemp (ranked 387 p4p, 50 weight class) and Lexington Banda (ranked 902 p4p, 115 weight class). Banda has chosen DMX - We Right Here 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 Lexington Banda was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
