Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anzor Dankovich (ranked 90 p4p, 49 weight class) and Wolfgang Muller (ranked 15 p4p, 10 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Muller's choice of entrance music: In the Hall of the Mountain King. 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 Wolfgang Muller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
