Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Boomhauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krac Wanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boomhauer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kiss My Country Ass. Krac Wanov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
