Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toothless Yarborough (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Venser Soujourner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yarborough kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is :(. Venser Soujourner told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
