Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Sucre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sucre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Capital Punishment. 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 Craig Patton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
