Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fanta Coco (ranked 656 p4p, 1119 weight class) and Yka Sonni (ranked 95 p4p, 155 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 Yka Sonni was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
