Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Holy Diver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bocco Badz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diver's entrance music is Holy Diver by Dio. 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 Bocco Badz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Turd Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
