Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Ahma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ahma comes to the cage accompanied by Power - Kanye West. Barnes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Barnes has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
