Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ian Trumps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Vieira Moreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trumps comes to the cage accompanied by Jay Z - Money, Cash, Hoes. Moreira has chosen Voodoo People - Prodigy 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 Daniel Vieira Moreira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
