Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rami Kivi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tor Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kivi's entrance music is Rammstein - Rammstein. A fine choice. 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 Tor Svensson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
