Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Baeumer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonidas Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baeumer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Deutschland. 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 Leonidas Black was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
