Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robert Paulson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulson comes into the arena with Pantera - Cowboys from Hell blaring out of the sound system. Penn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Aint no sunshine. 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 DJ Penn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
