Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lehbron Kingston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Miranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kingston has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Daniel Miranda was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
