It's another jammed pay per view from Saudi Arabia and we're ready to go over the "5 vs. 5" card, including the heayweight main event Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang on our newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives returns with Dan Rafael, insider of BigFightWeekend.com to give their insight, analysis and predictions on what they think will happen in this latest stacked card featuring mostly the figher's from Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions and Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing going head to head. Wilder, the former WBC champ, was kayed twice by Tyson Fury and most recently looked poorly against Joseph Parker.
