Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Stanislaw Bednarski (ranked 24407 p4p, 1681 weight class) and Keenwah Granes (ranked 461 p4p, 180 weight class). Bednarski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, KAS:ST - Hell On Earth. The crowd seem to be enjoying Granes's choice of entrance music: 敢不敢. 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 Keenwah Granes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
