Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gonzo Dragosavac (ranked 3574 p4p, 3475 weight class) and Billy Binch (ranked 380 p4p, 373 weight class). Dragosavac comes to the cage accompanied by Kockar i pijanac. Binch has chosen W.A.P 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 Billy Binch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
