Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nebojša Brynjar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shovel Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knight has chosen Shovel Knight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Shovel Knight was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
