Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chance Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Mcnichol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hurt - Johnny Cash. Mcnichol has chosen AC/DC - Back in Black as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
