Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Voller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel comes into the arena with Kollegah - Bossaura blaring out of the sound system. 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 Lars Voller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
