Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Abu Dubai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Zubersoft (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dubai's entrance music is Samurai. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Zubersoft's choice of entrance music: Metallica - Enter Sandman. 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 David Zubersoft was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
