Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Petterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petterson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can't Be Touched - Roy Jones. 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 Alexander Petterson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
