Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Samsonov (ranked 276 p4p, 42 weight class) and Radio Philips (ranked 368 p4p, 54 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 Radio Philips was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
