Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Raymond Chow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willy Wonka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wonka comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Mr Rotten Treats - Insane Clown Posse kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
