Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tatu Tikki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Oquendo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tikki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ratatat - Loud Pipes. 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 Jose Oquendo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
