Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ndamukong Suh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Suh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hail Mary. 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 Stephen Thompson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
