Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aquiles Bergasmarchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bennett has chosen Shipping Up to Boston 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 Brad Bennett was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
