Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zorba The Greek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Collins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Beginning of the End. 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 Zorba The Greek was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
