Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lan Mandragoran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bateman's choice of entrance music: Huey Lewis and The News - Hip To Be Square. 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 Patrick Bateman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
