Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Jimmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troy Tycoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tycoon has chosen DJ Zany & Rollers Donkey På Qlimax 2006 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 Troy Tycoon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
