Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Parsons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miyake Morimasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parsons comes to the cage accompanied by Call Me The Breeze. 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 Miyake Morimasa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
