Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dimitri Svyatogor (ranked 541 p4p, 1520 weight class) and Big Fist (ranked 79 p4p, 192 weight class). Svyatogor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Carl Espen - Silent Storm. 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 Big Fist was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
