Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Despicable Oh Dae Su (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oh Dae Su comes to the cage accompanied by Turn down the What. McDonald comes into a darkened arena with his song building. EARTH CRISIS: DESTROY THE MACHINES kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ronald McDonald was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
