Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Howard Quack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hunter Hautz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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 Hunter Hautz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
