Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genghis Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hillbilly Deluxe. 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 Genghis Khan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
