Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pietro Rava (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuris Dicktion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rava comes to the ring accompanied by Blue October - Drilled a Wire through my cheek. Dicktion has chosen Kalinka 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 Yuris Dicktion was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
