Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Better Dead (ranked 3291 p4p, 361 weight class) and Connor McGregor (ranked 5391 p4p, 538 weight class). Dead comes to the cage accompanied by Death March - Motionless in White. 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 Connor McGregor was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
