Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hong Kong Phooey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Marvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Phooey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hong Kong Phooey. Marvin has chosen King of Kings by Motorhead as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
