Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Hetfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hetfield might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harvester of Sorrow. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wong's choice of entrance music: CKY - Fat Fuck. 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.
