Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rolen Spliffs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christer Pettersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spliffs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ice Cube - Smoke Some Weed. Pettersson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Korn - Did My Time kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
