Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kristoph Kringle (ranked 1134 p4p, 2633 weight class) and Mabuz Bacia (ranked 124 p4p, 281 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 Mabuz Bacia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
