Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Capone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruthless Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Capone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Godfather Theme Song. Ruthless Junior will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
