Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Baker (ranked 427 p4p, 1035 weight class) and Chad Smith (ranked 62 p4p, 145 weight class). Baker comes to the cage accompanied by When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin. 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 Chad Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
