Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny The Rocket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid Krakken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Rocket might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Airplanes - B.O.B. and Hayley Williams. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
