Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Simeone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Meekus Thunder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simeone comes into the arena with Brucia Ancora blaring out of the sound system. Thunder has chosen Battery- Metallica 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 Meekus Thunder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
