Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Antero Wursty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Montague Withnail (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wursty might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - The Skull Beneath The Skin. Withnail has chosen Charlie Kunz -My Friend as his entrance music. Antero Wursty could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Montague Withnail's chin.
