Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sean Smith (ranked 1939 p4p, 2776 weight class) and Bill Sherman (ranked 251 p4p, 350 weight class). Sherman is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Big Willie Style. 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 Bill Sherman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
