Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Hagen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Curtis Milicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Milicz has chosen Fort Minor - Remember the Name 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 Curtis Milicz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
