Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Corpus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Per Fekt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fekt comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ack Sundbyberg kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
