Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvydas Sabonis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wango Tango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sabonis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Brown - Superbad. Tango has chosen Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing as his entrance music. Arvydas Sabonis could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Wango Tango's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moyses Mattos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yo Adrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adrian has chosen Super Bon Bon - Soul Coughing as his entrance music.
