Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Random Collective (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bernard Winklemesser (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 Bernard Winklemesser was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
