Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karim Johnson (ranked 175 p4p, 238 weight class) and Franck Kodjia (ranked 8 p4p, 12 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by Don't say nuthin'. 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 Franck Kodjia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
