Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benito Verde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Verde comes to the cage accompanied by The Way I Feel. Richards has chosen Cry me a river - Michael buble as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Shane Richards was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
