Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Numero Ocho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Vodkastov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vodkastov has chosen John Lennon - Imagine 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 Vladimir Vodkastov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
