Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erki Turk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaisla Suhisee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turk's entrance music is Fischerspooner - Never Win (Benny Benassi remix) . 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 Kaisla Suhisee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
