Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Sagat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Eddie Rodriguez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
