Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antoine Lakazette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Time (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lakazette's entrance music is Tupac - Me and My Girlfriend. A fine choice. 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 Justin Time was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
