Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fletch Brandis (ranked 3771 p4p, 13092 weight class) and Toktogulovich Bakiyev (ranked 83 p4p, 132 weight class). Brandis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lynyrd Skynyrd : The Ballad of Curtis Loew. 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 Toktogulovich Bakiyev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
