Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alvin Loredo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Predator Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burns has chosen How I Could Just Kill A Man - Cypress Hill 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 Predator Burns was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
