Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ernesto Del Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Henley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Del Toro comes to the cage accompanied by Bliss. 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 Ben Henley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
