Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Prince Simba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Waitzel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waitzel has chosen Dimmu Borgir - Puritania as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Shane Waitzel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
