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 Par Dough was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grand Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krzysztof Wojciechowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Speed comes into the arena with Mad Sin / Rusty Nails blaring out of the sound system. Wojciechowski comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Carl Orff - Carmina Burana kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
