Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Semi Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snuka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Superfly. 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 Semi Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
