Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Slapper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slapper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to beep beep i'm a jeep. James is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ballad of Jesse James. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Atilla Leopoldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Punch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
