Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Son Goku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mandla Bangizwe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goku's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cha-La-Head-Cha-La. 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 Mandla Bangizwe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
