Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mandla Bangizwe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rich Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Human Sacrifice. 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 Rich Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
