Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joost Van De Wolf Keizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinnie Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van De Wolf Keizer comes to the cage accompanied by MASTODON - BLOOD AND THUNDER. Collins has chosen Bloc Party - The Prayer 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 Vinnie Collins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
