Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anabol Asteroid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liu Bei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Asteroid might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Asteroid. Bei has chosen Hypnotic as his entrance music. Anabol Asteroid could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Liu Bei's chin.
