Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bill Cosby (ranked 1880 p4p, 1664 weight class) and Ren Okimoto (ranked 204 p4p, 175 weight class). Cosby comes to the cage accompanied by Cosby Show Opening. 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 Ren Okimoto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
