Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Kaufmore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thumper McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Here Comes The Boom!. McGee has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
