Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maurico Hates Decisions (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hates Decisions's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Defqon Ending!. Machida has chosen No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA as his entrance music. 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 Renzo Machida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
