Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Translucent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chan comes to the cage accompanied by Survival of the Sickest by Saliva. 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 Mr Translucent was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
