Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kellen Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Mohrruebe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 6 foot 7 foot by lil wayne. Mohrruebe has chosen Invaders Must Die as his entrance music. 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 Freddy Mohrruebe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
