Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeff MaGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bam Margera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MaGee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon). Jeff MaGee could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bam Margera's chin.
