Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aloha Hoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yiutsa Misura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rock You Like a Hurricane. Misura is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: MacGyver - Original Theme. 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 Yiutsa Misura was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
