Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hush Hanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Shebanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hanson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipknot- Wait And Bleed. Shebanov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Don't worry, be happy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
