Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rene Schweidler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waltteri Lahti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schweidler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to IZ. 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 Waltteri Lahti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
