Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Albodean (ranked 3530 p4p, 2390 weight class) and Scooter Ham (ranked 400 p4p, 285 weight class). Albodean's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I ain't worried - One Republic. 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 Scooter Ham was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
