Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terrence Thornton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saracen Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thornton's entrance music is Pusha T - Exodus 23:1. A fine choice. 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 Saracen Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
