Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivano Vrh (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 Ivano Vrh was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
