Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vladimirs Voranovskis (ranked 2564 p4p, 292 weight class) and Kalkupalhu Ditti (ranked 7262 p4p, 524 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 Kalkupalhu Ditti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
