Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Kilgore (ranked 3168 p4p, 2133 weight class) and Pushka Kamenev (ranked 441 p4p, 318 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 Pushka Kamenev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
