Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Summit Panda (ranked 851 p4p, 1530 weight class) and Jacek Siuta (ranked 106 p4p, 203 weight class). Siuta is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "The Ecstasy of Gold" Ennio Morricone. 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 Jacek Siuta was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
