Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lou Meatstock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lobsta Mang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Meatstock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Not Afraid . Mang has chosen B.O.B. as his entrance music. Lou Meatstock could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Lobsta Mang's chin.
