Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Man (ranked 5905 p4p, 531 weight class) and Brandon Waldrop (ranked 8071 p4p, 605 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 Brandon Waldrop was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
