Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boniface Randriamaholison (ranked 24433 p4p, 4827 weight class) and Didi Perusinac (ranked 523 p4p, 466 weight class). Randriamaholison kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Careless Whisper (Remastered). 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 Didi Perusinac was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
