Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Greg Connor (ranked 338 p4p, 341 weight class) and Georges Moxley (ranked 56 p4p, 58 weight class). Connor comes to the cage accompanied by Cherub Rock. Moxley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Andre Nickatina - Color of the Benz. 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 Georges Moxley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
