Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucas LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nozomu Itoshiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think LaVey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix. Itoshiki is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ringo Mogire Beam. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!Lucas LaVey has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
