Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Gionathan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gionathan has chosen Limp Bizkit - Rollin 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 Lorenzo Gionathan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
