Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tolo Seia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and A J Hearts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seia comes to the cage accompanied by Limp Bizkit - Thieves. 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 A J Hearts was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
