Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dale Murphy (ranked 1136 p4p, 159 weight class) and Charlie Hall (ranked 1179 p4p, 167 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 Charlie Hall was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
