Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ruma Juttu (ranked 23320 p4p, 2328 weight class) and Theodore Epicity (ranked 790 p4p, 330 weight class). Epicity has chosen Tempest by Deftones 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 Theodore Epicity was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
