Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matt Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fenton Meeks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Johnny Cash - Hurt. 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 Fenton Meeks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
