Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Albert Sojka (ranked 1100 p4p, 1020 weight class) and Alcide Almunecar (ranked 153 p4p, 145 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 Alcide Almunecar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
