Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Beijer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Super Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beijer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to David hasselhoff - Looking for freedome. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Super Man was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
