Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fudd Packer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aksel Stenger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stenger has chosen Hit2face - Ain't it nice to get hit to the face? as his entrance music. 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 Aksel Stenger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
