Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iron Tager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Lin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tager comes into the arena with MOTOR HEAD blaring out of the sound system. Lin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Advance On v2. Roger Lin 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!
