Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lawrence Trainor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Je (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trainor comes to the cage accompanied by The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. 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 Ray Je was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
