Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Quinton Beach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marion Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Moore's choice of entrance music: BOOT - Pepper. 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 Marion Moore was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
