Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Rude (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chang Sun Son (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rude comes into the arena with Face fucked by PISSING RAZORS blaring out of the sound system. Son has chosen Deftones- Be quiet and drive as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
