Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cortland Cartwright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gideao Tavares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cartwright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to St. Anger. Tavares is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Die Die Die My Darling. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
