Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Azevedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avery Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azevedo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Puddle Of Mudd - Psycho . 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 Avery Paul was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
