Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Owusu Andoh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryuuji Mutou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andoh comes to the cage accompanied by Quiet. 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 Ryuuji Mutou was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
