Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Casimiro Nicoletta (ranked 1401 p4p, 1566 weight class) and Jimmy Nitro (ranked 227 p4p, 256 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nicoletta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Once In My Life. Nitro is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: A Perfect Hero - Super Eurobeat. 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 Jimmy Nitro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
