Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Julio Balestrin (ranked 1521 p4p, 298 weight class) and Dick Winters (ranked 220 p4p, 52 weight class). Winters has chosen All Along the Watchtower 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 Dick Winters was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
