Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Richard Teixeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teixeira comes to the cage accompanied by Lil Terror. 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 Felix Martin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
