Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justus Sheehan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Turilli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sheehan comes to the cage accompanied by Devil. 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 Luca Turilli was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
