Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muskeli Mies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iso Paha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mies comes to the ring accompanied by The way of the fist. Paha has chosen Bad Boy 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 Iso Paha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
