Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Machida The Coward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Coward might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to machida the best. Santiago has chosen Asesinos - Los Crudos 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 Antonio Santiago was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
