Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Sheilds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anabolinen Steroidi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sheilds might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scars - Papa Roach. Steroidi has chosen Michael Jackson - Billie Jean as his entrance music. Anabolinen Steroidi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
