Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John L Sullivan IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tweedle Dee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sullivan IV's entrance music is Seven Deadly Sins. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dee's choice of entrance music: Chumbawamba - Tubthumping. 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 Tweedle Dee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
