Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Joseph (ranked 212 p4p, 22 weight class) and Mookie Blaylock (ranked 629 p4p, 81 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Joseph might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lamb of God-512. Blaylock comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Alive kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
