Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rainerio Isandro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Nielsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Isandro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go to Sleep-Eminem. 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 Peter Nielsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
