Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stacey Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Bad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bad has chosen Rusty Cage by Johnny Cash 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 Johnny Bad was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
