Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ice Lander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurokawa Kenji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lander comes to the cage accompanied by Tribute. 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 Kurokawa Kenji was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
