Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yodsingkhun Sitsongrit (ranked 41 p4p, 140 weight class) and Daniel Barbosa (ranked 5 p4p, 19 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 Daniel Barbosa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
