Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Rouge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Terry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rouge's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I See Red - Split Endz. 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 Rob Terry was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
