Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksey Borodin (ranked 921 p4p, 35 weight class) and Hello Bay (ranked 1268 p4p, 48 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 Hello Bay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
