Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandr Eenmaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Zedowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eenmaa's entrance music is Heaven Shall Burn - Endzeit. 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 Steven Zedowski was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
