Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bancroft Rothschild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robin Hood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rothschild comes into the arena with The Light blaring out of the sound system. Hood has chosen Whistle Robin 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 Robin Hood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
