Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Cowan (ranked 155 p4p, 292 weight class) and Petchuanglek Sitsongrit (ranked 13 p4p, 23 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 Petchuanglek Sitsongrit was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
