Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dawid Dzingis Han (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 Dawid Dzingis Han was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
