Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moses Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to NO SLEEP. Fernandez has chosen Oh My God That's The Greatest Song In The World Ever!! as his entrance music. Moses Diggs could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Miguel Fernandez's chin.
