Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khaled Kalil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 10 Years - All White. Kalil has chosen Black Rob - Whoa! 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 Khaled Kalil was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
