Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Krutcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krutcher might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fun Things - Savage. 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 John Thompson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
