Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Danny Brixton (ranked 412 p4p, 51 weight class) and Imperio Romano (ranked 1001 p4p, 121 weight class). Brixton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is JJBA: Diamond is Unbreakable. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
