Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Barathian (ranked 112 p4p, 12 weight class) and Raoul Clavette (ranked 543 p4p, 63 weight class). Barathian's entrance music is Sólstafir - Fjara. A fine choice. 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 Raoul Clavette was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
