Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dai Vernon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quizz Al Fazz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vernon comes into the arena with Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH blaring out of the sound system. 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 Quizz Al Fazz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
