Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maximillian Xezeron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Carter Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xezeron comes into the arena with Our Truth by Lacuna Coil blaring out of the sound system. 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 Sean Carter Williams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
