Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Koba Wyatt (ranked 655 p4p, 89 weight class) and Johnny Cage (ranked 907 p4p, 120 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wyatt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Channel Zero. Cage has chosen Walk - Pantera as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
