Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Huell Babineaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Curry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Molly Malone - The Dubliners. Babineaux has chosen Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta as his entrance music. Huell Babineaux has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Arthur Curry's chin.
