Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rich Mahogany (ranked 55 p4p, 100 weight class) and Joey Simone (ranked 7 p4p, 18 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mahogany might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dio - We Rock. Simone is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Gucci Mane - Trap God Intro. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
