Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Larkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Krutcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larkin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Krutcher is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fun Things - Savage. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
