Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Duane Bobbick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murphy McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bobbick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Indestructable. The crowd seem to be enjoying McGee's choice of entrance music: Angel of Death. Duane Bobbick could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Murphy McGee's chin.
