Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raoul Duke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duke Nukem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One Toke Over The Line. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nukem's choice of entrance music: Head Crusher by Megadeth. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
