Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pookie Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sami Hyypia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ride The Train. Hyypia has chosen Al Bowlly - Hang out the stars in Indiana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
