Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Savas Kaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaya comes to the ring accompanied by Hurdy Gurdy Man. The crowd seem to be enjoying Diaz's choice of entrance music: National Anthem. 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 Manny Diaz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
