Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brent Boston (ranked 1304 p4p, 31 weight class) and Yuri Cheryshev (ranked 1560 p4p, 68 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 Yuri Cheryshev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
