Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kazna Futzchag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Futzchag's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dione . Rose is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Soothsayer. 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 Billy Rose was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
