Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Onni Seppala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Lukaszewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lukaszewicz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Alter Bridge - Show me a leader. 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 Robert Lukaszewicz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
