Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Knapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knapp comes to the cage accompanied by Chevelle - The Red. Armstrong is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mudvayne . 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 Michael Armstrong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
