Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Larsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Eduardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larsson comes to the cage accompanied by Now I Lay Thee Down. Eduardo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Numb kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Carlos Eduardo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
