Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Norris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norris has chosen Kryptonite 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 Chuck Norris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
