Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dan Spackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spackman comes into the arena with Never Scared by Busta Rhymes blaring out of the sound system. Smith is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Give it Away. 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 Austin Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
