Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank The Crippler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holy Girl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Girl comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Holy Ghost kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
