Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leon Lentz (ranked 2274 p4p, 3117 weight class) and Manco Capac (ranked 313 p4p, 400 weight class). Capac is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Iggy Pop - The Passenger. 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 Manco Capac was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
