Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimi Hendrix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Daniel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Jack Daniel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Joe Rogan is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
