Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Zai Druggs (ranked 1259 p4p, 1822 weight class) and Caio Peieira (ranked 145 p4p, 194 weight class). Druggs's entrance music is Black Sabbath - Snowblind. 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 Caio Peieira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
