Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rin Itoshiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sandro Filcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Itoshiki comes to the cage accompanied by Hito toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru (SZS Mod. Rap ver.). 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 Sandro Filcic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
