Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Genghis Kant (ranked 3167 p4p, 3369 weight class) and Adhena Olisabed (ranked 391 p4p, 418 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kant might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sons of Plunder. 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 Adhena Olisabed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
