Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between M J Shain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Clooten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunderstruck. Clooten has chosen Hot Ride by The Prodigy as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
