Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrey Kuznetcov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ Wilder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilder has chosen Talkin' Da Hardest as his entrance music. 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 AJ Wilder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
