Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ibrahim Camara (ranked 20195 p4p, 761 weight class) and Captain Spaulding (ranked 4466 p4p, 514 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 Captain Spaulding was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
