Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez (ranked 4469 p4p, 3369 weight class) and Tiger Whtie (ranked 529 p4p, 440 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 Tiger Whtie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
