Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Money Montell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Caleb Reimer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montell comes into the arena with I Get Money blaring out of the sound system. Reimer has chosen BLUNT- The Iron Maiden as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Caleb Reimer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
