Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Peter Higgens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Batbold Chinzorig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chinzorig is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Glitch Mob - Fortune Days . 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 Batbold Chinzorig was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
