Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Benn Jr (ranked 2034 p4p, 1482 weight class) and Henri Jospin (ranked 266 p4p, 206 weight class). Jospin has chosen Clash 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 Henri Jospin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
