Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Javier Pena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin McCork (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCork comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Great Balls Of Fire By The Killer Himself kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Calvin McCork was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
