Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Dodd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Genaddu Chakovshiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Genaddu Chakovshiy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
