Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Duuket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins's entrance music is 3 little pigs. A fine choice. 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 Kenny Duuket was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
