Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Klitschko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phineas Ferb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Klitschko's entrance music is Monster by Skillet. A fine choice. 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 Phineas Ferb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
