Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rude Moogle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tetsuya Shiroo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moogle kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ocean Drive. Shiroo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Gazette / Filth In The Beauty. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Clones Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clones Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pusha T - Blocka. Tyson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mary had a little lamb. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
