Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Baron Von Barva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Corey Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Von Barva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Imperial March. Johnson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Beat It. Corey Johnson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
