Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Maestre (ranked 910 p4p, 903 weight class) and Daniel Brand (ranked 42 p4p, 41 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 Daniel Brand was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
