Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kai Diao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Walter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diao's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 半斤八兩. 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 Anton Walter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
