Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alistair Mousasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Potato Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mousasi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Buried in a Graveyard. The crowd seem to be enjoying Khan's choice of entrance music: Meatloaf - The Monster Is Loose. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
