Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ice Lander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iso Sielu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lander comes to the cage accompanied by Tribute. Sielu has chosen POMPPUFIILIS!! 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 Iso Sielu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
