Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brian Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Veron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harvey comes to the cage accompanied by E-17 . The crowd seem to be enjoying Veron's choice of entrance music: Breathe - Prodigy. 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 Hugo Veron was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
