Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hanzo Murasaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by Drag-on - New Cheif. Murasaki is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Feuer Frei. 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 Hanzo Murasaki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
