Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paavo Paukku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Michnik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michnik has chosen Anger as his entrance music. 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 Adam Michnik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
