Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Walter Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mario Ferrari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sullivan comes to the cage accompanied by Akira Yamaoka - Room of Angel. 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 Mario Ferrari was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
