Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Serget (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leandro Ataides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Serget's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Friends in lower places. 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 Leandro Ataides was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
