Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mick Dolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dolan's entrance music is Shipping Up to Boston. A fine choice. 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 Carlos Carter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
