Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Abraham Berkovitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bruce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruce has chosen Joy Division - Atmosphere as his entrance music. 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 Bobby Bruce was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
