Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Maverick (ranked 1143 p4p, 1708 weight class) and Max House (ranked 156 p4p, 216 weight class). House has chosen HonestKey- Keep Fightin' as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Max House was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
