Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Uri Gellar (ranked 1654 p4p, 1990 weight class) and Garik Andonian (ranked 239 p4p, 281 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gellar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Randi exposes Uri Geller. 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 Garik Andonian was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
