Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Helio Kimura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Parameshwar Jolokia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jolokia is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dimmu Borgir - The Mourning Palace. 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 Parameshwar Jolokia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
