Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heinz Spack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spack's entrance music is Kraftwerk's ' It's More Fun To Compute. A fine choice. 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 Tommy Adams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
