Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kimmo Kallio (ranked 1011 p4p, 2482 weight class) and Manu Ahonen (ranked 156 p4p, 335 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 Manu Ahonen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
