Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Akio Yamamoto (ranked 8822 p4p, 120 weight class) and Heath Bace (ranked 7947 p4p, 258 weight class). Yamamoto's entrance music is Lil Whyte - Oxy Cotton. A fine choice. Bace has chosen All the single ladies 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 Heath Bace was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
