Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Morten Joikhaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holmes is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: SBB - Memento z banalnym tryptykiem. 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 Jon Holmes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
