Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Veni Domine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tentacool Tentacruel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Domine comes to the cage accompanied by Pagan's Mind - Through Osiris Eyes . Tentacruel has chosen Septopus as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Tentacool Tentacruel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
