Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lamar Jacobson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silver comes to the cage accompanied by Pirate Song. 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 Lamar Jacobson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
