Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marco Dragonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Horner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Horner's choice of entrance music: Roky Erickson - Stand For The Fire Demon. 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 Mike Horner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
