Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Habanero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikhail Yudovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Habanero comes into the arena with NERD - Rockstar blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Yudovich's choice of entrance music: Zetsubou Restaurant (ZSZS ED3 Ver.). 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 Mikhail Yudovich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
