Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manolo Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Myles O Donnell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Fifth Of Beethoven. O Donnell is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Anti by Mayhem. Myles O Donnell told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
