Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Diagana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilmar Fonseca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diagana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Judas Priest - Painkiller. 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 Gilmar Fonseca was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
