Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Kiely (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and El Ka Bong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kiely might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mouth For War. Bong has chosen ULTRAMAGNETIC MCs - Ego Trippin as his entrance music. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as El Ka Bong enters the cage!
