Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexandru Mircea (ranked 1270 p4p, 1966 weight class) and Theros Ironfeld (ranked 137 p4p, 215 weight class). Mircea's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Shatter. 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 Theros Ironfeld was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
