Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Duke Nukem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anaconda Anaconda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nukem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Head Crusher by Megadeth. Anaconda is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Baby Got Back. Duke Nukem has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
