Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Myke Bonner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diesel Kreedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bonner comes into the arena with Gunther-ding ding dong blaring out of the sound system. Kreedy is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can't Stop. Diesel Kreedy told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
