Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Cash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cash has chosen Manhunt Theme 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 Jimmy Cash was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
