Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandar Ilic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hendrik Vermeulen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Hendrik Vermeulen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
