Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leonardo Laiola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laiola comes to the cage accompanied by Roots Bloody Roots. 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 Renzo Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
