Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tre Calbert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and matty schmidt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calbert's entrance music is Here we Go. 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 matty schmidt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
