Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Norbert Grupe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Shields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grupe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Organized Konfusion - Bring It On (Buckwild Remix) . Jake Shields has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
