Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Wolf (ranked 3127 p4p, 376 weight class) and Macaulay Culkin (ranked 6025 p4p, 554 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wolf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shock The System. Culkin has chosen Already Dead as his entrance music. Macaulay Culkin told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
