Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Serder Serderov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russel Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richards has chosen Meytal Cohen - Toxicity 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 Russel Richards was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
