Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Axl Rotten (ranked 6693 p4p, 207 weight class) and Vick Venom (ranked 3484 p4p, 116 weight class). Venom comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Once bitten twice shy-by CINDERELLA kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
