Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Porridge Wog (ranked 1275 p4p, 1317 weight class) and Will Scherma (ranked 164 p4p, 167 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 Will Scherma was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
