Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Dux (ranked 1144 p4p, 159 weight class) and Coke Montana (ranked 1130 p4p, 154 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 Coke Montana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
