Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Crack Head (ranked 368 p4p, 50 weight class) and Jordan Hendo (ranked 415 p4p, 58 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 Jordan Hendo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
