Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Orc Mismash (ranked 2836 p4p, 119 weight class) and Sir Reginald Beefcake (ranked 2135 p4p, 87 weight class). Mismash comes to the cage accompanied by Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain - Power of the Horde. 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 Sir Reginald Beefcake was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
