Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rankka Ankka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apollo Greed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ankka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Milk - The Knife Song. Greed has chosen James Brown - Living In America 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!
