Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Wait (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wait comes to the cage accompanied by #1. 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 Clay Moore was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
