Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tomas Tetrev (ranked 44 p4p, 59 weight class) and AJ Brown (ranked 6 p4p, 8 weight class). Brown has chosen Ace Hood - Undefeated as his entrance music. 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 Brown was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
