Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fury Tyson (ranked 1919 p4p, 1978 weight class) and Master Petrov (ranked 219 p4p, 222 weight class). Tyson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad Pigs. 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 Master Petrov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
