Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Khavin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Zamora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zamora has chosen Nirvana - Lake of Fire 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 Danny Zamora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
