Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tiki Toke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BitchFace PoopyPants (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). PoopyPants comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Deathly Quiet kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Tiki Toke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
