Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Dean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cigano Mejias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dean might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Hells Bells. Jimmy Dean could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Cigano Mejias's chin.
