Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taite Abrams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafinha Silva (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 Rafinha Silva was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
