Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Titor (ranked 803 p4p, 113 weight class) and Abdul Rahman (ranked 1322 p4p, 185 weight class). Titor's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, John Titor-Going To Space. Abdul Rahman told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
