Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Turo Vatanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knox's entrance music is Malukah & Wolfgang - The Dragonborn Comes. A fine choice. Vatanen has chosen Hold Me Now 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 Turo Vatanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
