Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Herb Everyday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmonray Malapitan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Everyday's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eek A Mouse- the man and the mouse. Malapitan has chosen My Time is Now as his entrance music. 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 Dmonray Malapitan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
