Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucky Wasabi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Mclovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wasabi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pokerface. Mclovin has chosen Sandstorm by Darude as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
