Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aniceto Platanares (ranked 4638 p4p, 486 weight class) and Jake Sekany (ranked 6940 p4p, 629 weight class). Platanares comes to the cage accompanied by Las Piedras Rodantes (El Tri de Mejico). Sekany has chosen John Fogerty-Centerfield 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 Jake Sekany was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
