Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Dean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Rocha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dean's entrance music is Eminem - Till I Collapse. A fine choice. 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 Carlos Rocha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
