Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Felix Sandoval (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rufus Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sandoval comes to the cage accompanied by Overseer - Slayed. 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 Rufus Speed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
