Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fatu Tua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calaway kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is R.I.P.. Tua is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Freak on a Leash by Korn. Mark Calaway could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Fatu Tua's chin.
