Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aleks Nik (ranked 55 p4p, 161 weight class) and Gregor Marek (ranked 10 p4p, 21 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 Gregor Marek was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
