Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karri Vahti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sensei comes to the ring accompanied by Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy. 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 Karri Vahti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
