Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Walter Never Faulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cliff Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Never Faulter's entrance music is Fire it up by Modest Mouse. A fine choice. 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 Cliff Brown was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
