Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Martin Kampmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Bronson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Charles Bronson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
