Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaydub Spliffenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chop Dick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spliffenberger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Roll 'em Up. Dick is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Prodigy - No Good. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
