Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vlad Dracul (ranked 2058 p4p, 1973 weight class) and Aleksandr Zuev (ranked 277 p4p, 267 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 Aleksandr Zuev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
