Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tobias Berge (ranked 2569 p4p, 2132 weight class) and Cobweb Cooter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Cooter's choice of entrance music: Porch Honky. 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 Cobweb Cooter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
