Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Razor MuayThai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandar Mihaylov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mihaylov has chosen Watch Out For This (Bumaye) as his entrance music. 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 Aleksandar Mihaylov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
