Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Laputa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keijo Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Laputa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down. Richards has chosen Rolling Stones - Paint It Black as his entrance music. Keijo Richards will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
