Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anaconda Anaconda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Theiroff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anaconda comes into the arena with Baby Got Back blaring out of the sound system. Theiroff is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Knuck If You Buck - Crime Mob. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
