Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sven Liljedahl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guntur Llaripukinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liljedahl kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Imperiet - Märk hur vår skugga. Llaripukinen has chosen Elvis Presley - True Love Travels On A Gravel Road 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 Guntur Llaripukinen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
