Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Freidrich Neitzel (ranked 4586 p4p, 531 weight class) and Jim Norwood (ranked 5834 p4p, 630 weight class). Neitzel comes to the ring accompanied by Relax, Take It Easy. Norwood has chosen Dhal Jaun Main-Akshay Kumar & Ileana D'cruz 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 Jim Norwood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
