Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Claude LeBlanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Pereira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LeBlanc comes to the cage accompanied by Professor Green ft. Maverick Sabre - Jungle. 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 Brian Pereira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
