Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alaric Visigoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Celek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Visigoth might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to THUNDERSTRUCK. Celek is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 40 oz. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
