Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between William H Bonney (ranked 139 p4p, 278 weight class) and David Hanson (ranked 21 p4p, 43 weight class). Hanson has chosen Subcouds - on red 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 David Hanson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
