Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mama Tosen (ranked 123 p4p, 284 weight class) and Lars Kay (ranked 8 p4p, 25 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 Lars Kay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
