Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Ray Morrison (ranked 3692 p4p, 448 weight class) and Alex Stefanovic (ranked 4308 p4p, 516 weight class). Morrison's entrance music is Leave Me Alone. A fine choice. 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 Alex Stefanovic was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
