Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Addams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ooga Booga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Addams's entrance music is Addams Family Theme Song. A fine choice. Booga comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Invention of Music kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ooga Booga was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
