Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fresh Hamz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toby Jay Wadenah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hamz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac - Me Against The World. Wadenah comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! This should be a great matchup!
