Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rob Mugabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mac Gyver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mugabe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Zimbabwean National Anthem. Rob Mugabe could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mac Gyver's chin.
