Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harold Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Howard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eddie Money - Take me home tonight. Congo has chosen Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Harold Howard could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ghengis Congo's chin.
