Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Niko Bellic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cris Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bellic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pursuit Of Happiness. Speed is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Paul Oakenfold / Ready Steady Go.
