Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boby Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis comes to the cage accompanied by Amazing Grace by The Celtic Woman. Lee has chosen Nelly - Just a Dream 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 Boby Lee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
