Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Rosillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Fontana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rosillo comes to the cage accompanied by Skillet - Hero. Fontana has chosen Queensryche - Silent Lucidity 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 Steve Fontana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
