Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Langley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Langley's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, No More Heroes: Kill or Be Killed Mix. 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 Julio Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
