Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Skyler Myles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Colin Burton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myles comes into the arena with Danger Zone blaring out of the sound system. Burton has chosen Trip Like I Do 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 Colin Burton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
