Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hark Munt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cam Sar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Munt comes to the cage accompanied by Oceans(Where feet may fail). 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 Cam Sar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
