Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Medley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vivrant Thang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Vivrant Thang was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
