Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Achilles Peles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donatello The dragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peles might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica. The dragon has chosen Cereal Killer by Method Man and Red Man as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
