Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Hoo Le Sheet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zayed Abdullah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hoo Le Sheet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay-Z & Kanye West - Niggas In Paris Lyrics. Abdullah is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kalluri Vaanil. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
