Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dragon Slayer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Styles has chosen Wrecking Ball 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 Devin Styles was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
