Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lexington Snape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Filipovic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Duran Duran - The wild boys. Snape has chosen DJ Tiësto - Carmina Burana: Remixed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
