Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Son Goku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hawk Seibold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goku might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cha-La-Head-Cha-La. Seibold has chosen SCOTTISH PIPE as his entrance music. The key to victory for Son Goku has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
