Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Hawkings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Cunningham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Cunningham's choice of entrance music: Disturbed - Conflict . 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 Brad Cunningham was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
