Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Slayter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frightey McScared (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slayter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - You Don't Know ft. 50 Cent. Frightey McScared is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
