Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rodrigues might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed - Liberate. Curry is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: this fire burns. Gabriel Rodrigues is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
