Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cameron Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Mayfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Tyler Mayfield was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
