Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Boy (ranked 1516 p4p, 3948 weight class) and Professor Dickweed (ranked 76 p4p, 146 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 Professor Dickweed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
