Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Morten Paulsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ashley Hendricks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulsen's entrance music is Papa Roach - Do or die. A fine choice. Hendricks comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Nightrain kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ashley Hendricks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
