Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolaos Zappoulis (ranked 3087 p4p, 2967 weight class) and The Jewru (ranked 308 p4p, 299 weight class). The Jewru told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
