Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Crillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Lemieux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crillo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wiz Khalifa - Black And Yellow. Lemieux has chosen Sliwa as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
