Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deontay DJ (ranked 2060 p4p, 3431 weight class) and Earnie Shavers (ranked 258 p4p, 417 weight class). DJ's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Scrappy - No Problem. 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 Earnie Shavers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
