Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Muuka Laine (ranked 941 p4p, 3393 weight class) and Aleksi Heimo (ranked 55 p4p, 188 weight class). Laine's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thats Not Me. 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 Aleksi Heimo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
