Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Theiroff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dayton Clarke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Theiroff comes to the cage accompanied by Knuck If You Buck - Crime Mob. The crowd seem to be enjoying Clarke's choice of entrance music: Bob Marley - Jammin'. 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 Dayton Clarke was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
