Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Arabi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sidney Wonder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Wonder's choice of entrance music: Unforgiven 3. 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 Sidney Wonder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
