Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mikkel Larsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leon Spyridon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larsen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Super Furry Animals - 'Do or Die'. 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 Leon Spyridon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
