Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stevie Franchise (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Peacock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Franchise might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Microphone Fiend- Rage Against the Machine. 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 Drew Peacock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
