Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnson Beharry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Algenir Aguiar De Mira (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 Algenir Aguiar De Mira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
