Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Padeiro Chucro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Klaus Hoffmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chucro's entrance music is Nikolay Emelin - Rus. 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 Klaus Hoffmann was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
