Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Jones (ranked 1929 p4p, 1227 weight class) and Stan Man (ranked 143 p4p, 85 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 Stan Man was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
