Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Benson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benson comes to the cage accompanied by Emergence Of Talents. The crowd seem to be enjoying Martinez's choice of entrance music: I Refuse to Lose. 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 Russell Martinez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
