Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lord Binx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Donovan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Binx comes to the cage accompanied by The Baby Bean song. 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 Jacob Donovan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
