Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aslan Bagrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes into the arena with Scorpions - The Good Die Young blaring out of the sound system. Bagrian is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Justin Bieber - Baby.
