Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marciano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to REDEMPTION SONG. Myton has chosen Yoyo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
