Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between austin beck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackie Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). beck's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, let's go . Moon has chosen Why Can't We Be Friends? as his entrance music. 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 Jackie Moon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
