Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Henriksen (ranked 438 p4p, 1032 weight class) and Darren Weeks (ranked 57 p4p, 133 weight class). Henriksen's entrance music is OST Vikings - If I Had a Heart. 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 Darren Weeks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
