Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stigma Diabolicum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darek Bautista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bautista has chosen Hugo Stage - The Circuit 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 Darek Bautista was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
