Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Kaalee (ranked 5195 p4p, 181 weight class) and Gamma Knox (ranked 5192 p4p, 180 weight class). Knox has chosen Marilyn Manson | The Fight Song as his entrance music. 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 Gamma Knox was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
