Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matthew George (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zahir Nolam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think George might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Return of the Mack . Nolam has chosen Mo Money mo Problems as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
