Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Beltshazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Morris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Morris's choice of entrance music: Prong - Snap your fingers, snap your neck. 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 Matt Morris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
