Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colonel Mustard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Les Brocknar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mustard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crazy Train. Brocknar has chosen Mother by Danzig as his entrance music. Les Brocknar 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!
