Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rodniel Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lamont Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romero comes to the cage accompanied by Kanye West - Amazing. Hawkins has chosen Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M as his entrance music. 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 Lamont Hawkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
