Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ian Trumps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manhoef comes into the arena with Killing In The Name blaring out of the sound system. Trumps has chosen Jay Z - Money, Cash, Hoes as his entrance music. 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 Ian Trumps was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
