Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Esa Wideroos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelemi Seia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Seia's choice of entrance music: The Offspring - All i Want. 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 Kelemi Seia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
