Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brantt Myhres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Yagan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Yagan's choice of entrance music: Thunderstruck. 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 Roman Yagan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
