Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keijo Sardiini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvador Dali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sardiini comes to the cage accompanied by We Are The Kings. 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 Salvador Dali was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
