Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Gee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kha Ri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't be touched. 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 Kha Ri was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
