Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rogerio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Cartman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amazing entrance! with the theme FORT BATTLE from The Last of the Mohicans. Cartman has chosen Santana Ft Everlast - Put Your Lights On as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eric Cartman 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!
