Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Screw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hakan Has (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Screw's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Harmonium. Hakan Has told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
