Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kimmo Kallio (ranked 395 p4p, 1162 weight class) and Avraam Papadopoulos (ranked 59 p4p, 164 weight class). Papadopoulos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lil Uzi Vert - That's A Rack. 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 Avraam Papadopoulos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
