Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toki Wartooth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Great Boyka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wartooth comes to the cage accompanied by Dethklok- Awaken. Boyka comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Train hard kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Great Boyka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
