Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Alekseev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunthor Xiilianiatoph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alekseev comes to the cage accompanied by Imperium. 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 Gunthor Xiilianiatoph was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
