Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Choctaw Bloode (ranked 931 p4p, 1161 weight class) and Bjorn Akerfeldt (ranked 138 p4p, 178 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 Bjorn Akerfeldt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
