Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mick Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Kick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is up with the Cock. Kick has chosen M.O.P. - Ante Up as his entrance music. Mike Kick 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!
