Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Niedzwiedzinski (ranked 1965 p4p, 231 weight class) and Vito Scaletta (ranked 1993 p4p, 236 weight class). Scaletta is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: i kill cause im hungry. 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 Vito Scaletta was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
