Main event

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Zalinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flex Nuisance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zalinski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to We Don't Need Another Hero. Nuisance has chosen High Hopes by Frank Sinatra as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
