Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Hendriks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackie Can (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hendriks comes to the cage accompanied by Toulouse. Can is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Don't cross his path when he's drunk!. 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 Jackie Can was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
