Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shang Tsung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tsung might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mortal Kombat Theme Remix. Anderson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Simon Says. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
