Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Lewis (ranked 3051 p4p, 3229 weight class) and Lee Van Cleefe (ranked 96 p4p, 111 weight class). Van Cleefe has chosen Classics - The Master (1984) TV series as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Lee Van Cleefe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
