Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jerry Spotwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spotwood has chosen KRS-ONE & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives 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 Jerry Spotwood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
