Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uasay Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albino Leffe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Almeida comes to the cage accompanied by Vater Unser. 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 Albino Leffe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
