Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gundro Vilheimshaugen (ranked 2208 p4p, 241 weight class) and Efraim Turban (ranked 1020 p4p, 128 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 Efraim Turban was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
