Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marshall Noir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Brashears (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Noir comes to the cage accompanied by Pride. 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 Ryan Brashears was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
