Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wayde Andazola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hoy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andazola's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Airbourne - Bottom Of The Well. 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 Hoy Nelson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
