Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Parker (ranked 4133 p4p, 348 weight class) and Lothar Svantovit (ranked 4739 p4p, 391 weight class). Parker comes into the arena with Roots Manuva - Again and Again blaring out of the sound system. Svantovit has chosen Stone Cold Metal - Ensiferum 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 Lothar Svantovit was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
