Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valentin Skovgaard (ranked 512 p4p, 77 weight class) and AC Slater (ranked 780 p4p, 123 weight class). Skovgaard comes into the arena with Second Reality blaring out of the sound system. Slater has chosen Stop What Ya Doin 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 AC Slater was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
