Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Paredao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Shears (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Paredao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to If you want blood - ACDC. Shears is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
