Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vedin Sirovica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Wesley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sirovica's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, If you think I'm sexy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wesley's choice of entrance music: AC/DC - Thunderstruck. 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 Ryan Wesley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
