Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hajime no Ipo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aoki King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying King's choice of entrance music: I'm on a boat. 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 Aoki King was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
