Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Folayang (ranked 4503 p4p, 501 weight class) and Fabinho Tavares (ranked 2743 p4p, 357 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Folayang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Goodnight. 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 Fabinho Tavares was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
