Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roland De Roncevaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Ciprianni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Roncevaux comes to the cage accompanied by Menousis. 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 Danny Ciprianni was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
