Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Freaky Fernando (ranked 369 p4p, 826 weight class) and Zaurbek Temirbekovich (ranked 54 p4p, 115 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 Zaurbek Temirbekovich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
