Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vlad Tepez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tepez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ministry - NWO . Johnson has chosen Enter Sandman by Metallica as his entrance music. Vlad Tepez could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Carter Johnson's chin.
