Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Battle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bud Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Battle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Break Stuff. Spencer has chosen Banana Joe Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Andre Battle could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bud Spencer's chin.
