Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kim Young Il (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marijo Palavra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Il comes into the arena with RATM - Renegades of Funk blaring out of the sound system. 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 Marijo Palavra was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
