Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Endu Rastalli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Romano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rastalli might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Animal I Have Become" - Three Days Grace. The crowd seem to be enjoying Romano's choice of entrance music: Almost Easy -- Avenged Sevenfold. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
