Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wilfred Ainsworth (ranked 35 p4p, 82 weight class) and Milo Andrianakis (ranked 4 p4p, 11 weight class). Ainsworth comes to the cage accompanied by Fred Neil - Everybody's Talkin'. Andrianakis has chosen The Andy Milonakis Theme Song 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 Milo Andrianakis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
