Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Filapovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wesley Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filapovich's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Metallica - enter sandman. Storm has chosen Why Can't We Be Friends? 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 Wesley Storm was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
