Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kiyah Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Sam Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
