Co-main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Batistuta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Les Sobrante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Batistuta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Deftones - You've Seen The Butcher. Sobrante comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Primus - Fisticuffs kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
