Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Domenic Amato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarmo Uusivirta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amato's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gonna Fly Now. The crowd seem to be enjoying Uusivirta's choice of entrance music: Moonsorrow - Huuto. 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 Tarmo Uusivirta was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
