Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Thunder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bubba Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Watson has chosen Hank Williams Jr (Country Boy Can Survive) 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 Bubba Watson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
