Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hank Shotguntoter (ranked 24767 p4p, 536 weight class) and Vito Polizzi (ranked 3583 p4p, 357 weight class). Polizzi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: DJ Lilman - Flex. 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 Vito Polizzi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
