Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Krampus (ranked 1121 p4p, 154 weight class) and Benjamin Sigfridsson (ranked 1399 p4p, 191 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 Benjamin Sigfridsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
