Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ethan Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Era Ojdanic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harris comes to the cage accompanied by In Exile - Thrice. 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 Era Ojdanic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
