Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Landa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tadashi Masaru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landa comes to the cage accompanied by Ich tu dir weh - Rammstein. 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 Tadashi Masaru was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
