Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Macho Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taco Stiffy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stiffy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The taco dance. Taco Stiffy told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
