Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Lambert George (ranked 16652 p4p, 375 weight class) and Makunouchi Ippo (ranked 13114 p4p, 392 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 Makunouchi Ippo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
