Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Saturn (ranked 1949 p4p, 2724 weight class) and Slobba Dahutt (ranked 70 p4p, 99 weight class). Dahutt has chosen EAT IT -by Wierd Al Yankovic 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 Slobba Dahutt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
