Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Cades (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorma Juntti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cades might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Ace Of Spades - Motorhead. Juntti has chosen Pantera - Cemetery Gates as his entrance music. Mike Cades could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jorma Juntti's chin.
