Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bismack Kagonbo (ranked 851 p4p, 93 weight class) and Karl Karlsson (ranked 490 p4p, 55 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kagonbo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Voodoo. Karlsson has chosen 300 Violin Orchestra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
