Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between J Blunts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lion Bear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blunts might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bob Marley - Three Little Birds. 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 Lion Bear was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
