Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rufus Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evandro Rolifild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kick out the Jams by The MC5s. Rolifild comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Evandro Rolifild told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
