Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitor Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Vitor Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
