Co-main event

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hakeem Berzevaco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bruce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Berzevaco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kaksi vanhaa hinttaria. Bruce has chosen Joy Division - Atmosphere as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
