Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucio Palhares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amish Hardcore Irish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Palhares might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Three 6 Mafia - It's A Fight . Hardcore Irish is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Devil's Dance Floor. Amish Hardcore Irish 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!
