Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khalid Walid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clark William (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walid's entrance music is si karut marut-iklim. A fine choice. 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 Clark William was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
