Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Elric (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Damage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Elric might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Wayne - Rolling In The Deep (Sorry 4 The Wait). Damage comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Burritos - by Sublime kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
