Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Adolf Hitler (ranked 2576 p4p, 3617 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 252 p4p, 331 weight class). Hitler comes to the cage accompanied by Russian Dancing Men. 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 Miyamoto Musashi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
