Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Bruising (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus Ubiistia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ubiistia has chosen "No Leaf Clover" by Metallica 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 Magnus Ubiistia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
