Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tom Araya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wes Weddle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Araya comes to the cage accompanied by Angel of Death. The crowd seem to be enjoying Weddle's choice of entrance music: remember the name - fort minor. 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 Wes Weddle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
