Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sephiroth Cooper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trejo comes to the cage accompanied by Dire Straits- Six Blade Knife. 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 Sephiroth Cooper was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
