Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Noam Chomsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Numa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chomsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System Of A Down BYOB. Numa comes into a darkened arena with his song building. You're Going Down kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Noam Chomsky has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
