Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Humphrey Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivar Lodbrok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lodbrok has chosen Killing in the name of... as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lodbrok has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Humphrey Baker could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ivar Lodbrok's chin.
