Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Felipe Feltre (ranked 210 p4p, 12 weight class) and Serge Ibaka (ranked 414 p4p, 22 weight class). Feltre comes to the cage accompanied by Someday Never Comes. 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 Serge Ibaka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
