Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ford Prefect (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Krestner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prefect might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mos Def - "Mathematics". Krestner comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Remember the Name kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! The key to victory for Ford Prefect has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
