Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Montgomery (ranked 1679 p4p, 233 weight class) and John Thomas (ranked 2497 p4p, 317 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montgomery might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy. Thomas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Big Bad John kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
