Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khaled Khaled (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rousimar Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khaled's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DJ Khaled - Out Here Grindin'. 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 Rousimar Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
