Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Constantine Titanus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Titanus comes to the cage accompanied by To Glory. 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 Bruce Li was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
