Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Milton Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ekel Alfred (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 Ekel Alfred was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
