Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zmesan Borec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elvis Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Borec might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - Lucretia. Frost has chosen WALKING IN MEMPHIS as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Elvis Frost is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
