Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodef Canmelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butter Sweet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Canmelianenko comes into the arena with Emperor - The Loss And Curse Of Reverence blaring out of the sound system. Sweet is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Knock Out. 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 Butter Sweet was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zaphod Beeblebrox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeeves Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Jeeves Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
