Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zydrunas Zavickas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stedman Tinsdale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zavickas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mötley Crüe: Girl's Girl's Girl's. 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 Stedman Tinsdale was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
