Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dimitri Svyatogor (ranked 3816 p4p, 7159 weight class) and Marco Polo (ranked 386 p4p, 533 weight class). Svyatogor comes to the cage accompanied by Carl Espen - Silent Storm. 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 Marco Polo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
