Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Walter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hernandez comes to the cage accompanied by Dysfunctional. 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 Peter Walter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
