Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Albert Albert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Curtis Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Albert might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Godsmack!. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Who Dat by Young Jeezy. Albert Albert looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
