Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mental Warrior (ranked 1532 p4p, 23440 weight class) and Abdullah Zaire (ranked 223 p4p, 690 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Warrior might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Side to Side. 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 Abdullah Zaire was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
