Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between jon williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). williams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is DOA. Wilson has chosen Burn in My Light as his entrance music. 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 Mark Wilson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
