Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Leeroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay McCoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leeroy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boondocks Theme Song. McCoy has chosen Danzig - Twist of Cain as his entrance music. Bruce Leeroy could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jay McCoy's chin.
