Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Wilder (ranked 539 p4p, 1002 weight class) and Vanderley Ferreira (ranked 69 p4p, 119 weight class). Wilder comes to the cage accompanied by The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice. 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 Vanderley Ferreira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
