Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nori Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aamakualenalena Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borec comes to the cage accompanied by Carl orff - o fortuna. The crowd seem to be enjoying Robinson's choice of entrance music: The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony. 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 Aamakualenalena Robinson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
