Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stefol Czarnecki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mad Dog Vachon Ii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Czarnecki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hollywood Undead - Young . Vachon Ii has chosen Le Petit Poisson as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
