Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ronny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Pedofiili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Everclear - The BOYs are back in town. Pedofiili has chosen Judas Priest - Breaking The Law as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
