Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yonglong Li (ranked 665 p4p, 742 weight class) and Thomas Raske (ranked 97 p4p, 116 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 Thomas Raske was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
