Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chael Sonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Farfas Waza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Farfas Waza struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Farfas Waza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
