Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lance Domingo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rowan Atkinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Domingo's entrance music is Smoke Serpent "Jui-Jitsu". A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Atkinson's choice of entrance music: Set to Fail. 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 Rowan Atkinson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
