Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roman Christos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cluk Cloo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Christos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hell's Ditch. Cloo has chosen Holy Diver as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
