Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Avon Barksdale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and M J Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barksdale's entrance music is Three Six Mafia - Its A Fight . A fine choice. Shain has chosen Thunderstruck 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 M J Shain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
