Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aziz Hamedovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deki Stankovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stankovic has chosen Kosovo-Vidovdan 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 Deki Stankovic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
