Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Power House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zawisza Czarny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). House comes into the arena with Die MF Die blaring out of the sound system. 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 Zawisza Czarny was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
