Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hanson White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Develen Elvington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the cage accompanied by AC/DC - Up To My Neck In You. 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 Develen Elvington was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
