Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Bustamante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samson Goldstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bustamante might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here Comes The Boom!. 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 Samson Goldstein was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
