Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Griffin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bag of Weed. Boy has chosen Johnny Boy - It's Johnny Boy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jonny Boy will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
