Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Professor Avenarius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Keynes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Avenarius's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Space Prophet Dogon, Sun City Girls. 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 John Keynes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
