Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Javon Jefferson (ranked 2085 p4p, 3422 weight class) and Alessandro Garrison (ranked 256 p4p, 376 weight class). Jefferson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zoey Dollaz - It's Ok (feat. A Boogie wit da Hoodie). 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 Alessandro Garrison was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
