Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Slopey Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwight Moody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Jawga Boyz - Rollin Like A Redneck. 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 Dwight Moody was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
