Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Clones Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clones Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pusha T - Blocka. McGuire has chosen Black Stone Cherry - White Trash Millionaire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
