Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kostas Mytilinaios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rutger Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mytilinaios kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sanitarium. 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 Rutger Svensson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
