Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Serget (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Ruggiero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Serget might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Friends in lower places. Vinny Ruggiero will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
