Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simija Nomurokai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hayato Warmaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warmaster has chosen Final hour by LAMB OF GOD as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hayato Warmaster was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
