Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michal Tarnowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anabolinen Steroidi Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tarnowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hemp Gru - Sami swoi . Steroidi Jr has chosen Light Year - Sex Education 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 Anabolinen Steroidi Jr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
