Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taz Bandichoo (ranked 3293 p4p, 66 weight class) and En Esch (ranked 2985 p4p, 58 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Esch's choice of entrance music: Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix). 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 En Esch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
