Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deontay DJ (ranked 25305 p4p, 145 weight class) and Tarik Kongo (ranked 4404 p4p, 160 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think DJ might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Scrappy - No Problem. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
