Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Burkshire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Red Rum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burkshire's entrance music is It's a Fight - Three 6 Mafia. A fine choice. 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 Red Rum was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
