Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonaton Manzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Jacques Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manzo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Breaking Benjamin - Dance With The Devil. Machado has chosen Sound Of Madness - Shinedown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jean Jacques Machado was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
