Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Igor Crazy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crazy comes into the arena with Mienteme blaring out of the sound system. 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 John Black was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
