Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Reach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Harbor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reach might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rich Like Me. 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 James Harbor was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
