Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thor Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn comes into the arena with Fade to Black blaring out of the sound system. Hammer has chosen Amon Amarth - The Pursuit of Vikings 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 Thor Hammer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
