Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuffie Kisaragi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Severn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kisaragi comes to the ring accompanied by Wanted Man by Rev Theory. Severn comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ja volim vatat muve kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Ken Severn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
