Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Rios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Duncan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rios might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Painkiller - Judas Priest. Duncan has chosen Haka as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
