Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felipezoom Insano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richie McCaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Insano's entrance music is . A fine choice. McCaw has chosen Seeing Things 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 Richie McCaw was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
