Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Fontana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawking comes to the cage accompanied by Shady Lane. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fontana's choice of entrance music: Queensryche - Silent Lucidity. 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 Steve Fontana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
