Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Mariucci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ace Mikkey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Mikkey's choice of entrance music: The Trooper. 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 Ace Mikkey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
