Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marco Ruas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marc Tong Panong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ruas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction. Tong Panong has chosen Tetris Song (remix) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marc Tong Panong has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Marco Ruas's chin.
