Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Holmes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Everybody Knows My Name. Marciano is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kid Charlemagne. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
