Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Pickett (ranked 1462 p4p, 68 weight class) and John Thunder (ranked 2940 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pickett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Queen - Hammer To Fall. Thunder has chosen Thunderstruck - AcDc as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marcus Pickett could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to John Thunder 's chin.
