Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between No Chance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Uri Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyka has chosen Just Like You 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 Uri Boyka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
