Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between French Toast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toast might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to EAZY-E - Real Muthaphuckkin' G's. The crowd seem to be enjoying Danze's choice of entrance music: Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee. Billy Danze has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
