Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juhani Jukola (ranked 1119 p4p, 810 weight class) and Krsto Vujić (ranked 160 p4p, 114 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 Krsto Vujić was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
