Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson comes to the cage accompanied by AFI - Totalimmortal. 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 Chuck White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
