Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fred Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perry is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lützenkirchen - Leer aber Techno. 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 Fred Perry was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
