Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Malig Hunt (ranked 302 p4p, 1145 weight class) and Keanu Allen (ranked 49 p4p, 160 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 Keanu Allen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
