Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cody Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grant might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Alice in Chains - Rooster. Uzannavabizch is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Brandon Loveladdy's band WE ARE THE CHOSEN : BREAKING THE KARMIC CYCLE. Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
