Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josef Joestar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronnie Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coleman is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Don't Tread On Me By Metallica. Josef Joestar looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
