Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Babak Dundee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Stettin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Stettin's choice of entrance music: The Weapon They Fear. 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 Patrick Stettin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
