Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Holden Rosenthal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rosenthal might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick Derringer - I Am a Real American. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Adam Bomb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
