Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Jefferson (ranked 2075 p4p, 2857 weight class) and Shinji Nakabisha (ranked 253 p4p, 344 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 Shinji Nakabisha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
