Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fabiano DeSilva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Carolla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DeSilva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Todd Rundgren - Bang On The Drum All Day. Carolla has chosen Gotta Get It On from Taboo 2 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 Adam Carolla was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
