Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Morris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pena Trasseli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 Pena Trasseli was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
