Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John C Reilly (ranked 118 p4p, 1097 weight class) and Felix Krnacova (ranked 16 p4p, 142 weight class). Reilly's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, John C. Reilly Funniest Moments. 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 Felix Krnacova was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
