Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Maui Built (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yves Jabouin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Built comes to the cage accompanied by Skills. Jabouin has chosen Trobule On My Mind- Pusha T and Tyler The Creator 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 Yves Jabouin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
