Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bunny Wailer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ling might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay Chou - General/Checkmate. Wailer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Soul Rebel kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
