Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Sanderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahab Buttermaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanderson's entrance music is Maxixe. A fine choice. Buttermaker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Convoy. 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 Ahab Buttermaker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
