Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Donald Natush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucky Wasabi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Natush might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Careless Whisper. Wasabi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pokerface. Donald Natush looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
