Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Night Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Noke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man comes to the cage accompanied by Night Man. Noke is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Animal. 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 Kyle Noke was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
