Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between David Choe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shintaro Nomo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Choe's entrance music is DVDASA Theme Song. A fine choice. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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 Shintaro Nomo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
