Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Roy Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lleyton Stiels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Robinson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Redemption!!! from the movie Rocky II. Stiels comes into a darkened arena with his song building. You're going down by Sick Puppies kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
