Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cassius Bellatoo (ranked 906 p4p, 114 weight class) and Barry Jones (ranked 1029 p4p, 131 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bellatoo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MAHAKAL THE TERROR Party Weed. Jones has chosen Raining Blood - Slayer as his entrance music. Barry Jones 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!
