Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Bronson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Oketch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bronson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harmonica. 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 Vincent Oketch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
