Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rob Roy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vasily Kharlamov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kharlamov has chosen Russian National Anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Vasily Kharlamov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
