Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thayne Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Bott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gibson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Straight To The Bank-50 Cent. 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 Jason Bott was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
