Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matheus Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Deal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Almeida's entrance music is Inner Circle - Bad Boys. 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 Al Deal was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
