Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Elgin Turner (ranked 2009 p4p, 308 weight class) and Marquis Reagent (ranked 3705 p4p, 503 weight class). Turner comes into the arena with wu-tang clan - da mystery of chessboxin' 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 Marquis Reagent was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
