Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buck Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Layne Staley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cannibal Corpes - Hammer smashed face. Staley comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Junkhead kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Buck Brown has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
