Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viljo Laine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel York (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). York has chosen British Grenadiers Song as his entrance music. York has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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 Nigel York was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
