Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cashel Clayton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent LeMarche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clayton comes to the cage accompanied by Thunderstruck. 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 Vincent LeMarche was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
