Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wolfgang Van Beethoven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bomb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Casino Royale Soundtrack - You Know My Name. Van Beethoven has chosen Beethoven-Symphony 7 as his entrance music. Wolfgang Van Beethoven will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
