Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leonid Brezhnev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Martinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinsson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Oscar Martinsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
