Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danza Kuduro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannibal Die Rücksichtslos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuduro comes to the cage accompanied by Suikoden IV - A Formidable Enemy Arrives. Die Rücksichtslos has chosen Mind The Gap 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 Hannibal Die Rücksichtslos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
