Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between King Marvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fernandez has chosen Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Andy Fernandez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
