Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunnar Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 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 Gunnar Nelson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
