Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Silva (ranked 1214 p4p, 157 weight class) and Chief Queef (ranked 2680 p4p, 306 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 Chief Queef was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
