Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfred Hammarskjold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tasos Ieronymakis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hammarskjold might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rasmus pĺ luffen - Luffarvisan. 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 Tasos Ieronymakis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
