Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bruce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller comes to the cage accompanied by Logic feat. Castro - Ballin. Bruce has chosen Joy Division - Atmosphere 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 Bobby Bruce was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
