Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Choke (ranked 69 p4p, 124 weight class) and Ife Edwards (ranked 14 p4p, 22 weight class). Edwards has chosen Damian Marley - Road to Zion 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 Ife Edwards was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
