Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Zook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wallid Ismail (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to God's Gonna Cut You Down. 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 Wallid Ismail was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
