Cool fight, you have to think it's a loser leaves town matchup. Hopefully Alessio can pull it off
Another tough fight for Alessio. Definitely rooting for him in this one but not an easy fight for him at all.
Decent prelim
Loser leaves town match.
Early exit for Alessio.
Ya thats what I was thinking, a pink-slip fight...really hope Alessio can pull it off for his first win in the UFC, he's been around such a long time and really needs it and deserves it
I like this fight. I can see Alessio pullin it off. Roller is in a mega rut
I'm thinking the same thing 20
