Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Recksun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Grime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Recksun comes to the cage accompanied by The Stroke. 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 Big Grime was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
