Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shinya Sakuraba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Froi Satur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sakuraba comes to the ring accompanied by rock superstar - cyprus hill. 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 Froi Satur was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
