Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Gonzalez (ranked 912 p4p, 108 weight class) and Jesus Sanchez (ranked 1414 p4p, 172 weight class). Sanchez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Duele El Carazon. 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 Jesus Sanchez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
