Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aung San Suu Kyi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esa Tikkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suu Kyi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Peace Prize Speech. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
