Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thor Skarsgard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid comes to the cage accompanied by Total Recall. 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 Thor Skarsgard was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
