Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Graham McIntyre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shang Tsung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tsung comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Mortal Kombat Theme kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shang Tsung was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
