Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Deuce (ranked 6832 p4p, 25496 weight class) and Mikko Vesalainen (ranked 574 p4p, 612 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 Mikko Vesalainen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
