Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Melton Sr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicolas Karkmananis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Melton Sr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West - All Of The Lights. 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 Nicolas Karkmananis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
