Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Giovani Sobrinho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dope - I'm 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 Giovani Sobrinho was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
