Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Farley Steve (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steve comes into the arena with Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You blaring out of the sound system. 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 Carl Douglas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
