Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicolas Amyot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stark comes to the cage accompanied by Sail Alowanation. 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 Nicolas Amyot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
