Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Cain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wayne's entrance music is Last of my kind. 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 Ricky Cain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
