Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wilfred Ainsworth (ranked 192 p4p, 207 weight class) and Milo Andrianakis (ranked 26 p4p, 29 weight class). Ainsworth's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fred Neil - Everybody's Talkin'. Andrianakis has chosen The Andy Milonakis Theme Song 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 Milo Andrianakis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
