Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Khalabib Emelianenko (ranked 1639 p4p, 3466 weight class) and Patrick Star (ranked 200 p4p, 404 weight class). Emelianenko comes to the cage accompanied by Song for Denise. 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 Patrick Star was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
