Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacks Sole (ranked 485 p4p, 581 weight class) and Baldur Torsten (ranked 75 p4p, 90 weight class). Torsten has chosen Temple of Odin 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 Baldur Torsten was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
