Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anakoni Kai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esa Tikkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kai comes to the cage accompanied by Firestarter. 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 Esa Tikkanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
