Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frank Romita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lerba Schmeizel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romita comes to the cage accompanied by Rollin' Like A Boss. Schmeizel has chosen Zorba the Greek 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 Lerba Schmeizel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
