Ysengrin comes to the cage accompanied by Cheeky Nandos. Hoffman has chosen Judas Priest - Painkiller 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 Butch Hoffman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
