Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jose Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urijah Samuel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz comes into the arena with Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Samuel's choice of entrance music: Knock Yourself Out. 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 Urijah Samuel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
