Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Matias Orava (ranked 758 p4p, 79 weight class) and Lesley Chow (ranked 1544 p4p, 174 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 Lesley Chow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
