Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaze Hastings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hastings comes to the cage accompanied by Blazin Hazen - Avarage Homeboy. 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 Lorenzo Montana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
