Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between San Terra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Lavelle (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 Leroy Lavelle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
