Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Cusumano (ranked 1141 p4p, 141 weight class) and Anselmo Harris (ranked 3589 p4p, 405 weight class). Cusumano's entrance music is Gamefire. 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 Anselmo Harris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
