Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Pendragon (ranked 344 p4p, 260 weight class) and Aydan The Wandering Spirit (ranked 56 p4p, 39 weight class). The Wandering Spirit has chosen Wichita Lineman 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 Aydan The Wandering Spirit was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
