Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rustly Shackleford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludwig Van Normayen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Normayen has chosen Vader - Sword of The Witcher as his entrance music. 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 Ludwig Van Normayen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
