Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Schroeder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Walden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walden has chosen Bas Rutten - El Guapo likes to dance 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 Andre Walden was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
