Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Samson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elvis Presley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Samson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Venture Brothers Opening Theme. Presley has chosen Burning love as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
