Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brian Fantana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russian Experiment V (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 Russian Experiment V was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
