Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Manlio Marconi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Cesar Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marconi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hail Holy Queen. 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 Julio Cesar Chavez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
