Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Devils Outlaw (ranked 170 p4p, 869 weight class) and Francisco Babyara (ranked 27 p4p, 113 weight class). Outlaw comes to the cage accompanied by Moonshine Bandits For The Outlawz. 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 Francisco Babyara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
