Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Queen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Spock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Queen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fat Joe - Money Over Bitches [Feat Too $hort & TA]. Spock has chosen Rolling Stones- 2,000 Light Years From Home as his entrance music. Oliver Queen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
