Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Kerr (ranked 698 p4p, 81 weight class) and Rocco Marciano (ranked 729 p4p, 87 weight class). Marciano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Marciano is a stone cold pimp out there. 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 Rocco Marciano was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
