Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zebaztian Nord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe De Vries (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nord might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Linkin Park - Bleed It Out. De Vries comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sigur Ros - Svefn-g-englar kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Zebaztian Nord could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Abe De Vries's chin.
