Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stig Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stevie Wonder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Swanson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chael Sonnen lowlights. Stevie Wonder has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
