Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Steuermann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalti Eyj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Steuermann might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ein Prosit. Eyj has chosen I'm Sexy and I Know It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wolfgang Steuermann could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Hjalti Eyj's chin.
