Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Renato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Styles comes into the arena with Wrecking Ball blaring out of the sound system. Renato is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I Want My Tears Back. 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 Tiago Renato was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
