Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aegaeon Hecatonchires (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hecatonchires's entrance music is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. A fine choice. 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 Billy McGee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
