Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wille Thai (ranked 62 p4p, 265 weight class) and Oscar Gustafsson (ranked 14 p4p, 36 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 Oscar Gustafsson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
