Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Clay Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gim Ruut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Davis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Clay Davis -- Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttt. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ruut's choice of entrance music: Decadence - Disturbed. 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 Gim Ruut was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
