Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Will Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hertog Jan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Power's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gary Pucket - Lady Will Power. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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 Hertog Jan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
