Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gorgeous Gangta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Crabtree (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gangta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Papoose- GAngta - GaNgtaS. The crowd seem to be enjoying Crabtree's choice of entrance music: Move Bitch. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
