Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kilo Maluga (ranked 1 p4p, 14 weight class) and Kjetil Olsen (ranked 1 p4p, 2 weight class). Maluga's entrance music is JUNGLE. A fine choice. Olsen has chosen Liberty by LXST CXNTURY 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 Kjetil Olsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
