Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adolfo Dias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris. 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 Iivana Jalo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
