Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jay Who (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Lowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Who comes to the cage accompanied by Requiem for a tower. 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 Anthony Lowe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
