Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Bryant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's entrance music is Fort Minor - Petrified (Gracie Remix). A fine choice. Bryant comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Killing in the name kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Martin Bryant was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
