Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Urie Sergeyev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiromitsu Tanaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Hiromitsu Tanaka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
