Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Van Damme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unkind Artist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Damme kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fight to Survive. The crowd seem to be enjoying Artist's choice of entrance music: Dropkick Murphys - Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya. 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 Unkind Artist was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
