Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cassit Heiluu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Musta Surma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heiluu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kerrankin Tarpeekseen. 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 Musta Surma was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
