Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nasir Prince (ranked 4261 p4p, 2071 weight class) and Paulo Roberto (ranked 374 p4p, 217 weight class). Prince comes to the cage accompanied by Nas- N.Y. State of Mind. Roberto has chosen Samba de Roda as his entrance music. 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 Paulo Roberto was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
