Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Myers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Halloween. James has chosen NWO Wolfpack as his entrance music. Mike Myers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
