Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Orla Wanker (ranked 1900 p4p, 1426 weight class) and Seppo Maki (ranked 253 p4p, 197 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 Seppo Maki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
