Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eric Koch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodriguez has chosen Outlandish - Guantanamo 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 Ben Rodriguez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
