Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jin Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jussi Syren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Syren has chosen Kung Fu Taistelee 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 Jussi Syren was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
