Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jay Ludwig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ludwig comes into the arena with Wasp - I wanna be somebody blaring out of the sound system. Wade has chosen Jizz In My Pants 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 Gary Wade was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
