Co-main event

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Davies (ranked 4112 p4p, 4072 weight class) and AJ Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 510 weight class). Adams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gold Medalist. 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 AJ Adams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
