Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joao Andrade (ranked 977 p4p, 698 weight class) and Seelow Heights (ranked 143 p4p, 104 weight class). Heights has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. 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 Seelow Heights was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
