Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grisha Kamenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brendan Roll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kamenov comes to the ring accompanied by Linkin Park - Bleed it Out. 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 Brendan Roll was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
