Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bart Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorge Samuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Samuel has chosen Our Dreams 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 Jorge Samuel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
