Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Damian Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza comes to the cage accompanied by Eye of the Tiger. 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 Joseph Brown was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
