Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felix Akimura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scooby Doom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akimura kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Good and the Bad. Doom has chosen SHM / Greyhound as his entrance music. 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 Scooby Doom was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
