Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between MF Jones (ranked 2434 p4p, 2648 weight class) and Lenn Meritt (ranked 0 p4p, 277 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 Lenn Meritt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
