Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alan Blaver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Berinot St Lucas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blaver's entrance music is AC/DC's Hells Bells. A fine choice. St Lucas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pjanoo kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Berinot St Lucas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
