Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Mac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mac kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dump the Clip. 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 Mike Bell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
