Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tallak Hrolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuire's entrance music is Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind . A fine choice. 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 Tallak Hrolf was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
