Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Small (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zoran Miloshevich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miloshevich comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kosovskiy front kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Zoran Miloshevich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
