Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ovidio Kiran (ranked 349 p4p, 679 weight class) and Malcolm Rivera (ranked 55 p4p, 92 weight class). Kiran comes to the cage accompanied by Katmandu. Rivera has chosen BAD COMPANY as his entrance music. 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 Malcolm Rivera was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
