Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Death Punch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felipe Cortes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Punch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Bleeding. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cortes's choice of entrance music: Street Life-Randy Crawford. Felipe Cortes has the eye of the tiger tonight.
