Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harvey Pekar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McClane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Immortal Technique -- Point of No Return. Pekar has chosen Dead Joe, by The Birthday Party as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
