Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thurgood Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Song Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins comes to the cage accompanied by Mary Jane. 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 Song Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
