Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ramstein Rommel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitaly Proskhurin (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 Vitaly Proskhurin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
